Build your reputation without pretending to be someone you’re not.

what do people say about you when you're not in the room

If you've ever walked into a meeting, written an email, or logged onto LinkedIn and wondered why you suddenly felt uncomfortable and like you couldn’t be yourself, you’re not alone. It bothered us so much we started a business. Five To Nine exists to challenge old-school corporate norms.

Knowing how to communicate clearly, confidently and in a way that feels like you is a skill that everyone can learn. But far too many people (…especially on LinkedIn) still rely on outdated strategies in order to fit in.

You can sound like yourself, and still succeed.

It’s always the same marketing bros that just tell you to send lazy InMails every day. You really don’t want to just be told to just be consistent or to find your niche.

It’s not that you’re not good at what you do. You are. It’s not that you’re not likeable. You are. It’s not even that you’re not good at marketing. You probably are.

But articulating that in certain spaces (including LinkedIn) can feel awkward and icky. That’s true whether you work for yourself or are building a career.

But it doesn’t have to feel so professionally lame.

You deserve an online presence that matches up to how the people who know you best see you. Which - spoiler alert - is probably pretty great.

You’re sick of the same old advice

Hi, I’m Nicole - LinkedIn Launch Coach & Creative Business Partner

I started out in marketing for some of the leading creator-backed brands. I loved it. But I started to notice that when it came to the corporate world, there was still an underlying imbalance.

When we started using LinkedIn for clients, we saw a huge difference in how posts from women were received vs. the ones from men. The same went for anyone who sat outside the ‘traditional corporate’ box or an underdog success story.

Frankly, that pissed me off.

We exist in a world that is slowly closing gaps (gender, pay, etc.) but where certain corporate spaces still exist in the dark ages. LinkedIn has the potential to speed that process up by platforming emerging business owners professionally in a way that no other social media could. But that only happens if we know how to use it.

Now, that’s what I’m known for. It’s also what I can help you do.
